Day Trip to Duplin Winery

A couple weekends ago, AM and I took a quick trip to Duplin Winery for her birthday. It was a first time trip for both of us, so we really didn’t know what to expect, though we were looking forward to the wine tasting. We go there just in time for a tour of the [...]

Food Pantries?

As I was doing laundry today, I noticed a flier for the Angel Food Ministries.
